If you’re like a lot of guys throwing a Super Bowl party, your idea of catering the event will likely consist of heading to the 7-11 for a bag of Tostitos and some canned “cheese” spread about an hour before kick-off. But this year, why not up your game and get something people actually want to eat (we do have a team in this thing after all).
Enter Nuchas. No not nachos. Nuchas. They’re a Times-Square-based outfit that makes super-yummy empanadas that are certainly the right fit for a super sports event (they actually fit great in one hand, so you won’t even have to put down your beer while chowing).
You can get the flaky pastry pockets in a variety of flavours including: short rib (beef braised in red wine with onions peppers, potatoes & fresh herbs); spicy chicken (chipotle, tomatoes, onions, peppers and fresh basil in paprika dough); or pulled pork (rosemary dough filled with pork that’s been cooked with white wine and oranges). For those who prefer their carnage on the gridiron instead of on their plates, there are two veggie empenadas to choose from: spinach dough filled with portabello mushrooms, spinach, mozzarella and fresh herbs, or white Parmesan dough stuffed with assorted cheese and caramelized onions.
And you know what the best part is? They’re starting a delivery service just in time for the big game! Just call in your order by noon on the 5th and you’ll have plenty of dough to keep you going through the day–even if you lose a bunch of it on that football pool at the office.
